De'Von Achane Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

De'Von Achane will not return for Miami's Week 9 matchup with Detroit. He tore his ACL against Kansas City on September 27, and the Dolphins placed him on injured reserve the following day. Team and league reporting confirmed the injury would end his 2026 season. Miami has been using Ollie Gordon II and other available backs since the injury rather than holding a weekly place for Achane. His status should not be confused with a player working through a short practice absence or a possible late-week decision.

Achane finished 2026 with 34 carries for 127 yards and seven receptions for 49 yards without a touchdown in three appearances. PFM's exported rest-of-season board still lists him RB6, but that number does not reflect a player who can contribute during the remaining schedule. There is no active Week 9 ranking in his task roster. The relevant outlook now is recovery and eventual readiness for a future season, not an anticipated return against Detroit. His previous production and long-term talent remain separate from current availability.
